Leonardo’s aeronautics division delivered strong results in the first half, led by a standout performance in its aircraft business. New orders for the company’s aerospace division rose 53.4% year over year (YOY) to €2.2 billion ($2.55 billion), while revenue increased 13.9% to €1.91 billion.

The aircraft unit accounted for the majority of this growth, securing €1.58 billion in orders (+41.8%) and €1.62 billion in revenue (+18.6%). Strong demand for international fighter and multirole programs, including GCAP and C-27J, underpinned the increase. Service activities contributed 30% of divisional revenue, reflecting the company’s ongoing shift toward a more service-oriented model. EBITA reached €180 million, up 5.9% YOY.
